Hi All,

It sounds like Alaska would be a good place for Basic pilots to get some extra rounds in the summertime.

Doesn't it stay light there until 11:00 at night in the summer ??? You guys could have 2 contests in one weekend
I would have to agree with other posts in this thread as I didn't stay in Basic long enough to realize the importance of just flying straight.I paid for it later in Sportsman...
I'm glad to see great emphasis placed on Basic . I feel every attempt should be made to help get these pilots going right..
As far as time for the basic guys goes , they should get a few more sequences if time allows .My only experience as a CD recently found that the basic guys were more on the ball and ready to fly...Eagerness should be rewarded if time allows..
As far as contests and running one right and efficient, I think everyone should attend a few JR SCAT series events and the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout.. Both are Models of efficiencyand FUN!!! (Thanks Bill,Barry and Mike M. ) Pilots in the air and ready to enter the box and scoresheetrunners both save a lot of time..

Thanks , Dave Stoik
